  1. Hello, I am interested in buying Schema Pro. I own an online shop and also a physical local store. And I have 2 pre-sale questions:

    1. I’ve installed Yoast SEO Premium, Yoast SEO: Local for WooCommerce, Yoast SEO: WooCommerce. If I install Schema Pro, would I need to uninstall any of the above plugin or disable any feature offered by these plugins?
    2. Woocommerce already has built in Rich Snippets for showing product availability, price, review. If I install Schema Pro, what do I need to do with the built-in feature of Woocommerce.

    Thank you.

    1. Hello,

      There are various reasons why rich snippets may not be visible in Google search results. Google considers many other factors such as the website’s authority, the kind of markup, etc. It could be possible that you have set everything right, but Google has not crawled the recent version of your website.

  2. Do you have any recommended resources for which schema should appear on each page? Does the Local Business markup only belong on the home page, for example?

    1. Team Schema Pro

      Hello Robert,

      We do not have any specific fields for these. But, you can definitely do that by adding extra fields for a particular Schema Type in Schema Pro

      Please feel free to get in touch if you need help with anything else.

  3. Is it possible to use Schema Pro for multi-language sites for the organization home page since the extensions are directed to different pages?

    1. Team Schema Pro

      Hello Melvin,

      Yes, if you have added a different pages for multilanguage, you can map different language information into the schema markup.

      I hope that helps. Feel free to reach out to us through the Support Portal for any help.

  4. Hey, I have a question.
